Ep.136 - SCRUM!

Are your projects consistently finishing 50 days late? Jason delivers a hard truth in this episode: CPM scheduling alone has never worked and never will. It's time to add Scrum to your scheduling toolkit. Drawing from Jeff Sutherland's book "Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time," Jason breaks down the seven core principles of Scrum and shows you exactly how to implement your first Scrum project using a simple 12-step process that creates happier teams, faster execution, and projects that actually finish on time.
